A correspondent or tbe Pittsburgh Com
mercial, writing from Titusvllle, under date
of July 29, 1872, says:
An article bas just been made public
staling that (he South Improvement Com
pany, or "Oil Creek Anaconda," bas been
renewed In tbe recent railroad combination,
and that "the oil interests of Pennsylvania
are now at tbe mercy of tbe railroada as to
freights." In consequence of tbe proposed
alliance, the death of one or two projected
railway lines Is predicted. Your" corres
pondent bas takeo great pains to ascertain
what the so-called "combination" Is, and I
assure you that, so far as it has been devel
oped, It shows a liberal policy toward tbe
producers. If Ibey will only be patient,
and give Mr. Watson a cbaoce, they will
find that it is his Intention to foster and
protect tbe oil trade; and offer such induce
ments as will tend to more fully develop It.
I understand that it Is bts Intention to visit
the oil regions soon, and fully examine into
tbe demands and requirements of lbs trade.
Indeed, a man of Mr. Henry's shrewdness
would not select as manager one Wbo would
pursue line of policy or make combina
tions calculated to "kill the goose that lays
tbe golden eggs." Let me say lo tbe oil
men, and all others interested, "Be ye pa
tient. Sufficient unto tbe day Is tbe evil
thereof. -'
There bas been another railroad cliauge,
but yet I am not at lib erty to divulge it. 1
will see tbat your readers are informed la
due time.
Haviog f.llsd la bis attempt to gain
possession of the oil regioa by means of tbe
South Improvement Company, the Immacu
late Watson now comes out la the character
of a"aaviorof tbecooulry," and begs tbe
oil men to listen to him and it "will be al
right boys." "Be ye patient" until I get
my fingers on your throttles and then I'll
take my revenge on you for upsetting my
little South Improvement stealing scheme.
Tbe oil men should receive his stories with
a good sbare of discredit. Let them bear
in mind his former attempt to rob and ruin
this region belore listening to bisaofl and
honeyed words. Be warned lo time.
Another oue of our townsmen is la luck
and the fortunate possessor ol a 60-barrel
well. Via Gretter every body knows tbe

pleted about a week ago, since which time

will readily be seen that "it is a good thing

About five o'clock last evening another
oil accident occurred at Woods' Run. A
lady named MoCue, while kindling a fire,
used petroleum oil tu biigbten it up. The
result was an explos'on. The buiuing oil
was tbrown.over her body, setting ber Cloth'

flesh. In tbe aconv of the moment ha
rushed into Ibe yard and leaped down a

though not dangerously. Doctors Stewart

Extensive Oil Fire.
Nkw Tonx, July 30. A very destructive
fire is rsglng at Hunter's point, Long Island,
and a number of boats have, been burned'
An oil yard Is on fire oear Long Island I
Railroad depot, which Is threatened, to
gether with tbe depot of tbe Flushing and
North Shore Railroad. There were five
large tanks of naptba and refined oil, each
containing five thousand gallons, and four of
these were burned. Hopes were entertained
at last accounts of saving tbe remaining
tank. Over fifty thousand barrels of petro,
leum on tbe wbarf ready for shipment wero
burned, as also four ships and three canal
boats loaded with oil. Many ol tbe burning
barrels of oil were rolled Into tbe river, en
dangering tbe shipping. All tbe vessels are
now removed. Coe's phosphate factory, to
gether with a largo amount of stock, waa
consumed. Loss about $90,000. TboSlan
dard oil works were entirely consumed by
three o'clock. Pratt's astral works, in tbe
rear of the Standard works, baa not ignited,
and hopes arc entertained of aaving them'
as tbo wind is now blowing the names to
ward the river. Many of the sheds owned
by Messrs. Rockafelier, Andrews & Co.
containing tnousanda ol barrels of oil, were
entirely consumed. At four o'clock it was
reported that tbe fire was confined to tbe oil
in tbe tanks and to tbat which lay In tbe
holds of tbe burning vessels. Many contra
dictory reports are afloat, and it is impossi
ble lo ascertain tbe precise extent of tbe loss
by tbe fire, but it is believed the loss will
reach about $GOO,000. Tbe fire it is believ
ed originated by some accident la a cansl
boat which was unloading at tbe wbarf.
The fire department did all in their power,
but their efforts were of little avail. At one
time the fire extended over three blocks,
covering tbe entire spsce with solid flame.
Tbe estimated loss oo vessels is $100,000;
on Standard oil works $200,000, on Coe's
works $225,000. Almost all tbe losses are
fully covered by insurance. No further
destruction is now apprehended, tbe fire be
ing pretty well subdued.
